This is also common in US centric analysis. China was through these twenty years on the currency manipulation monitoring list and not on the actual currency manipulator list regardless of the (government sanctioned) media rhetoric. In 2019 Trump placed China abruptly in the US list but had to remove it a few months later. The IMF which is internationally the only organisation to decide on currency manipulator countries has not done so for China (by international law WTO has to accept IMF decisions on that) Currently China is not in the currency manipulators list and is not expected to be in the near future. Also currency manipulation is not per se illegal internationally such as e.g. stock manipulation but US has its own law, don’t know for other countries. In any case, when US based on that attempted a trade war with China it was not supported internationally either from IMF or individual countries so the whole thing was backtracked. China not only did not help trump, but during the mini trade war they taxed US that hurt goods mainly produced in Trump’s states. So if somebody was purposely assisted from China in an election that was not Trump.
